Cant get controller configured. any alternatives to nemu64 that can memory dump?

Hello, So Im starting on a wrestling hack for virtual pro wrestling 2.
Ive successfully hacked the movesets using a guide online,

the problem is I cant get my xbox controller to work on nemu64. (i manually detected some of the buttons but cant get the dpad working)
And my emu of choice project 64 doesnt dump the memory it crashes.

I either need to force nemu64 to work with my controller or try a different emulator that has memory dump capabilities. The only recommended emulator for this type of hack is nemu64 -_-
